Description
The building consists of a single nave, with a cradle ceiling, surrounded by more recent chapels. In the southwest corner is an elongated bell tower which does not exceed the exterior wall. This tower is integrated into the western wall, although its upper part was changed later. The building is erected on a rocky mound, partly natural and partly enhanced, with an apse lombard with continuous arcades. Each arcade is made up of small keystones, and the fallout is done on a common keystone resting on a small beveled console. The walls of the nave date from the same era as the apse, that is to say probably from the 11th century.
